Bestbuy here is doing it then. Doubt I'll bother going since it will probably be packed.
You might be right, especially because those are coming out sooner.

Looks like a trip to Reading or King of Prussia is in order.

The only NYC location that has these is in Long Island City? Well, at least I live in Astoria, so it's fairly close.
EDIT: ...wait, the demos will only be there on two days for four hours each? Well, it's on my way home from work anyway, so I can at least try to make it on the 12th.

The most we'll see is a trailer. I wouldn't even be mad.

No NYC locations... you can't be serious. Surely, they'll have some stations set up at Nintendo World... right???

Also, I'm guessing the timing is so limited because these need to be babysat by Nintendo reps. Probably hand-delivering the content too.

I guess I would need to go to Cary.
or more likely, just wait for the games. I kinda know what I'm getting with Nintendo games.
if X is there, though, I'll be there in a heartbeat.

So they gotta ship this stuff out to the locations before June 12th....before June 11th too technically to get them there at those specific times.
E3 game leaks before the Direct?

I guess the idea isn't to praise those who already own a fucking Wii U.
Like im going to take time out of my day at work to run to a best buy to play a shitty demo. Maybe if the new smash is one of them but I highly doubt it.
This stuff needs to be on the eshop.

I hope so, makes no sense to me.. They could use the Best Buy at 86 & 59 street... <_<

Yeah, I don't get that.
I always forget that PR is basically another state. You guys must get left out a lot when it comes to shit like this.

Culver City if there's anything worth a damn. Full 3D Mario platformer please.
all the time man all the time
I'll be in San Juan in the middle of July. Maybe we'll street pass each other!
That's what I thought but it seems like a poor use of resources to fly reps around the country for two four hour blocks of demoing with 3 days of doing nothing in between.
Doing that alone wouldn't have done much to entice new buyers, but it still could happen, in addition to their Best Buy plan.
If it does, Nintendo will likely limit the e-shop demos to games scheduled to be out pretty soon, like Pikmin 3 and maybe TW-101.
Thank you. They are horrible and not all that smart. Why not have one in Manhattan?! WHY NINTENDO, WHY?! Heck use Nintendo World for crying out loud.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
cool hope you enjoy your stay on the island not much street pass action going on though

Why do people think these demos are for people who already own the console? It would be almost completely pointless to
release these just on the eshop. Not to mention E3 builds crash and will probably have Nintendo reps there to fix the demo stations and explain the product.
The only weird things are how small of a window there is for people to go check this stuff out and apparently the locations in some states.

So the unstable and buggy demos you normally have to fly to an LA trade show to play should be on the eShop because scheduling time out of your day to play them at a local store is too inconvenient? It's amazing how quickly we become entitled.
So, should I bring liquor to this thing?

No stores in Nebraska. >:| I am really surprised they didn't have at least one store in Omaha or Lincoln.
